NZ to get MrBeast Burger food truck, first one outside the US

MrBeast Burger, the global hit fast-food chain created by internet personality Jimmy Donaldson (aka MrBeast), is expanding its New Zealand operations and opening a food truck.

The MrBeast Burger NZ food truck will be popping up at Auckland FC home games, select locations of the Bites & Beats food festivals, community festivals and other summer hotspots.

The food truck menu will feature some fan favourites such as the Beast Style Burger, Crispy Chicken Sandwich, and Signature Crinkle Fries.

MrBeast Burger launched in 2020 as a virtual restaurant in which customers ordered via a delivery app, with food prepared in the brick-and-mortar locations of already established contracted restaurants. Four months after opening, MrBeast Burger sold its millionth burger.

The Auckland MrBeast Burger store opened in September. In New Zealand, the business is owned and operated by Declan Penfold, who sells online through UberEats, DoorDash and its website, as well as a takeaway-only location on College Hill in Auckland’s Freemans Bay.

Penfold said: “We’ve had such great feedback from MrBeast fans but the one thing we keep hearing is people want us in their local neighbourhood,

“So we decided the quickest way to reach everyone was to jump in our food truck and go on tour.”

The first “tour” stop will be at Auckland FC’s home game at Go Media Stadium on October 25.

So far, the truck has seven confirmed locations in Auckland between now and the end of November, including three markets in Pukekohe, one in Mt Albert, Grey Lynn Park Festival and a pop-up at Garage Project in Kingsland to tie in with Metallica’s concert at Eden Park on November 19.

“Even though MrBeast Burger is available in more than 12 countries around the world, we’re the first to serve fans from a food truck outside of the home of MrBeast in the United States,” Penfold said.

He said “nearly every ingredient” used in the burgers is sourced from New Zealand producers, “ensuring top-tier quality, consistency and flavour with a Kiwi twist”.
